The River by Bruce Springsteen. I couldn't do it. Gave up after 3 songs. Sherry Darling was a cute song complaining about an annoying MIL... But Springsteen's voice grates my nerves so much. Not a keeper. #NowSpinning #music 🎧
Vinyl album cover propped against a shelf full of records. Album art is a black and white photo of a white man's serious face.

Zenyatta Mondatta by the Police. I always hear "Goo goo goo, ga ga ga" instead of "De do do do, de da da da." Annoying lyrics, but everything else about that song and the whole album slaps. 🎧 #nowspinning #music
Vinyl record cover. Red background with a blue triangle point up, with the heads of three white men in the triangle. Photo of my hand holding up the inside sleeve of the record. Colorful collage of photos of the band, many of the photos are cropped as triangles.

Outlandos d'Amour by The Police. A lot of bangers on this one. Keeping it. #music #nowspinning 🎧
Vinyl record album cover propped against a shelf full of records. Album cover: black background, photo of three young white men, shoulders up, looking seriously into the camera. "THE POLICE" in bright red font in the top left corner.

Meddle by Pink Floyd. I don't think I had listened to this album before now. I like it. Keeping it. #music #nowspinning 🎧
Closeup photo of a vinyl record spinning with album cover propped behind it. Album art: Concentric ripples on water. The photo is an abstract blend of blue and pink.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. One of my favorites. Keeping it. 🎧 #NowSpinning #Music
Photo of outer and inner vinyl record covers. Left: Two men in suits stand in a dull cement street and shake hands. One of the men is on fire. Right: A sheer red cloth suspended in mid air in front of a vibrant green field with rows of trees. Perhaps it is caught in the wind.

The Wall by Pink Floyd. Yes please. Keeping it. #Music #NowSpinning 🎧
Vinyl record cover opened to the inside. The art is of a white brick wall with missing bricks. Through a large whole you can see a stadium filled with marching hammers and an airplane with a face flying towards you. Standing above the stadium is a giant pair of human legs and a naked bottom, wearing an old-timey powdered wig.

Have a Marijuana by David Peel & the lower east side. Fun and silly. Not very good. Not a keeper, unless I have second thoughts. #NowSpinning #Music 🎧
Photo of a vinyl record case in front of a shelf of records. HAVE A MARIJUANA Recorded live on the streets of New York. David Peel & the lower east side.

Lee Oskar by Lee Oskar. Chill and psychedelic. It's a keeper. Wikipedia says he lives in my home town! #NowSpinning 🎧
Photo of a record spinning on a record player with album cover propped up behind it. Album art: Drawing of a naked man and woman riding a giant dragonfly. The background is black. The woman is reaching up and stars stream from her fingertips.

Play'n' the Game by Nazareth. I'm torn because I really enjoyed the guitar and the lyrics, but I do not like his voice. I was surprised by how sweet and sappy some of the lyrics were. Keeping it for now. #NowSpinning #Music 🎧
Photo of record spinning with album cover propped up. Four white men with '70s haircuts sit around a table playing poker.

Free-For-All by Ted Nugent. Good, solid rock. I'm only two songs in but I know I'm keeping it. #nowspinning #music
Back and front of album cover. Black and white photo of the same man in 4 poses, playing his guitar rock-roarously

Sorry I dropped this account for a while. I am gainfully employed again so keeping up with projects is harder. Going to try to post 1x a week!

Just Another Band from L.A. by the Mothers (with Frank Zappa). Wikipedia says it is a parody album of long rock operas, which makes it make a lot more sense. Very weird. Definitely keeping it.
#NowSpinning #Music 🎧
Album art: simple drawing of a pink classic (1950s?) car with band members' faces visible sticking out of windows, doors, and the trunk. The car is resting on the top bun of a hamburger (photographed).

Stealin' Home by Ian Matthews. Pleasant enough. Candlelight dinner kind of music. Keeping it.
#NowSpinning #Music 🎧
Album art: photo of a white man, looking down, standing in front of windows showing the night sky.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters. I really liked it. I should listen to more blues. Keeping it.
#NowSpinning #Music 🎧
Album cover: simple design, black and white portrait of a black man wearing a white suit jacket and black vest, thumbs in his pockets. He has a nice smile. Record sleeve: black and white photo of the band, all smiling.

Bonus album! Troubadour by J.J. Cale. Found this record tucked inside the Steve Miller Band Anthology. It's soft bluesy rock with a bit of island sound. I'm digging it. I learned that J.J. Cale wrote "After Midnight" and "Cocaine," later covered by Eric Clapton.

Poorly lit photo from above, looking down at a record on a turntable.

Anthology by the Steve Miller Band. After letting it collect dust on my turn table for a month, I finally listened to side 4. I don't remember having strong feelings about sides 1-3, but the last side was very meh. Keeping it, I guess.
#NowSpinning #Music 🎧
Album art: black and white close-up photo of a young white man holding a curly feather (?) over one eye.

Fly Like an Eagle by the Steve Miller Band. It is more space rock than Book of Dreams and Anthology. I liked it.
#NowSpinning #Music 🎧
Album art: Close up photo of a white man playing an electric guitar. His hair is in the middle of being whipped around.

I promise I haven't forgotten you, Bluesky listeners! All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople. This was fun! I only knew the title track, but they were all toe-tappers. Keeping it. #Music #NowSpinning 🎧
Album art: "Mott the Hoople, All the Young Dudes" in fancy old-fashioned type at the top. Drawing of three white men overlapping in a line, wearing 1940s-style suits.

Question of Balance by the Moody Blues. I like this album more each time I listen to it. I already had a copy, so now I get to decide which one I'm keeping. #NowSpinning #Music 🎧
Front and back of album cover, with the art spread tall instead of wide: at the top, God (?) reaches his had through the planet earth and a spiral of clouds. Spiraling outward and down are a rocketship, Einstein, people riding bicycles and cars, an elephant, etc.
